Son Of Zeus "DevilHorn" (Load Warning)

[loureyes]

If you looked at any of my threads in the past then you know who zeus was. If not I will tell you he was my 1st flowerhorn and he introduced my to the wonderful world of hybrid cichlids breeding. He has gon to a better place now but he is lived on by countless offspring. I kick myself sometimes for not keeping his fhxfh fry however I do have 2 growouts from him and a female creamsicle midas spawn in 8/2011. Didn't take many photos of them when they were growing up due to the fact they didn't have much potiential most of the batch were culled and a few were given to a friend and I kept the 2
Here is a vid of the spawn.

The Result 3/25/11 male (Toward the end of the fading stage)




I tested his fertility with 2 parrot cichlids and he has had sucessful spawns both times 6/6/11

fry from 1st batch are approx. 1-1 1/2"
fry from 2nd batch (above pic) tiny is the best way to describe

Newest pics 7/10/11




He is currently divided in a 75 d.a.s w/a female PRQ on one side and a female V Synspilum on the other.

I like the pearls on him, its a nice fader but pitty no kok however the fries might have some kok goodluck

I thought he would produce kok due to his father zeus had it and the creamsicle midas female had a little bump before spawning. I may try to keep him in his own tank after he spawns. He picked the PRQ as a mate crossing my fingers everything goes well

It's all good!!! about 80% of the clutch were fertile and hatched 7/15 in the late evening. Here is a vid link (Can someone please tell me how to embed a vid on here everytime I click the youtube button and plug in the link it dosn't work)

Lately I have been getting into kamfa and want to get something along the lines of a red monkey I believe I have all the ingredients fh, prq, parrots, synspilum, & midas its just finding the right combo. Now the hard part is waiting for the fry to growout

Mabey some but not all. I havent found anything online of a spawn like this. But from what I have seen PRQ, Red shocks, and Red Monkeys are all alike there are just small differences between them.

From the looks of things the fry are starting to freeswim
